148 KEEP AN EYE ON HER PART 16 (1/2)

Xue Lin explained, ”I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure how you would react. At first, I thought it was really a ghost. Last night, my conception changed after I passed through it. The green light fell on my body and I knew what was going on. Then, I went to the security office and wanted to see the footage. However, the security officer was saying it's against the rule and blah, blah, blah… so I took care of him.”

Ge Chen was curious. ”And how did you take care of him?”

Xue Lin scratched her head. ”Yummm… that's not important. Afterward, he spilled the beans and told me who ordered him and I told him to bring me the video footage of the restaurant as proof. My luck was good. He knew someone who could hack and that person gave us the footage. I got all the evidence I needed. Later, I told the security officer to help me. The case is over.”

She couldn't tell him that she hypnotized him and made him her slave. What if he gets scared of her?

”Did you hypnotize him?” Even if she didn't want to tell him, he could guess.

Xue Lin frowned her eyebrows. She didn't like it when others could read her thoughts. She didn't answer his question and only gazed at him.

Seeing her expression, Ge Chen smiled softly. ”So, my guess is correct. You don't have to worry about how I think. I think it's wonderful that you can do something on your own. However, I want you to rely on me too. If you can't rely on me, how can I rely on you?”

Xue Lin pondered deeply about his words for a couple of seconds and then agreed. ”You are right. I should rely on you. But, to tell the truth, I don't want to rely on others. I'm a lazy person. If I go easy on me, when the time comes, I'm afraid I cannot protect myself. I know you want to protect me all the time but there are times when you cannot do that. At that time, I have to rely on myself only. That's why I will rely on you when you are there. However, I will rely on myself only when I'm not with you. Does it sound fair?”

”It sounds fair.” Ge Chen agreed.

At that time, two men barged into the room.

Xue Lin and Ge hen looked at them. They were Ge Chuan Li and Ge Junjie.

Xue Lin covered herself with the comforter and said, ”My husband, tell them to go away. Looking at one ugly face in the morning was enough to ruin my appetite. I cannot stand looking at two more ugly faces.”

”How impudent!” Ge Chuan Li chided.

Ge Chen looked at his father and stepbrother coldly. ”What do you need?”
